A homeless man who suffered catastrophic injuries and is paralysed from the waist down after falling under a bus in Dublin city centre has settled his High Court action for €2m. Mr Carroll now has paraplegia, has to use a wheelchair and needs full-time care, Richard Lyons SC, with Niall O’Neill BL, said. Mr Carroll, who was near the side wheel, fell under the bus and suffered catastrophic injuries, counsel said. The claims were denied and Dublin Bus said the bus driver did not drive away from the bus stop when Mr Carroll was at its doors. It was further alleged he stumbled against the bus without making any attempt to get on in the moments prior and before the bus moved off.
